Acrylic vs Silicone Roof Coatings

Acrylic vs Silicone Roof Coatings: What’s Best for Texas Businesses?

Choosing the Right Commercial Roof Coating for Your Climate, Roof Type, and Budget

If you’re exploring roof coatings for your commercial property in Texas, chances are you’ve come across both acrylicand silicone systems. While both offer waterproofing and UV protection, they perform differently depending on your building’s needs, climate conditions, and long-term goals.

At Total Cladding and Roofing, we install both systems — but we believe in helping you choose the right one, not just the one we sell.

Key Differences Between Acrylic and Silicone Coatings

Which Roof Coating Is Right for Texas?

Texas covers a lot of ground — and a lot of weather conditions. Choosing the right coating depends on your roof type, local conditions, and business goals.

✔ Choose Acrylic If:

• Your roof has good drainage and no standing water

• You want to lower energy bills through solar reflectivity

• You’re looking for a cost-effective solution with proven results

• Your roof is metal, modified bitumen, or single-ply

• You’re located in a hot, dry region of Texas like West or Central Texas

✔ Choose Silicone If:

• Your roof is flat or has areas of standing water

• You’re in coastal or high-rainfall regions of Texas

• You want a longer-lasting waterproof membrane

• Your priority is moisture resistance over reflectivity

• You’re coating TPO, EPDM, or older flat systems

Don’t Let the Wrong Coating Fail Your Roof

The wrong roof coating can crack, peel, or fail prematurely, leading to costly repairs. That’s why we inspect every roof before making a recommendation — and we’re one of the few Texas contractors trained and certified in both systems.

We help property managers, developers, and facilities teams choose the right system based on:

✔ Substrate condition and age
✔ Local weather and drainage
✔ Desired reflectivity and energy savings
✔ Budget and long-term plans
